Super League Predictions - Round 7

How good was it have some fans in the ground last time out!? Well they're back again and there's a few interesting games for them to view. Daryl Powell's first visit to Warrington since he was announced as Steve Price's successor is arguably the most eye catching story line. Wakefield and Leigh both go in search of maiden wins, while Wigan and Saints look to preserve their unbeaten start.

Chris, Kieran and Rob give have had their say on how round 7 my pan out...

Salford Vs Wigan

Kieran

Wigan will want to put their Challenge Cup exit disappointment swiftly behind them and get back on the horse in Super League. They head down the road to struggling Salford and I think they’ll sense this as an opportunity for a big performance and big result.

Warrington Vs Castleford

Rob

Warrington were poor last time out against Huddersfield, although they came back into it they cannot allow a team like Cas to build up a lead like that. And that for me is why Cas win.

Catalans Vs St Helens

Chris

Saints may be unbeaten, but they haven't been glittering. A major part of the streak has been their defence. There may only be a thousand or so Catalans fans at the game, but it will sound like ten times that and that could be a factor. The french side have the weapons to trouble Saints here, and I fancy them to become the first side to usurp the back-to-back champions this term, and build on a good win at Hull last time out.

Leigh Vs Huddersfield

Kieran

Despite two big performances against their nearest and dearest Wigan, Leigh’s return to Super League has been a baptism of fire. Even worse for them is the fact that Huddersfield have both battered them in the Challenge Cup and improved in the league. The Giants win this one for me, but Leigh can take heart from their recent performance against the Warriors.

Wakefield Vs Hull KR

Rob

Hulk KR won last time out, whether it was a shock upset or they played well, I would still fancy them to turn over Wakefield in this potentially close encounter.

Leeds Vs Hull FC

Chris

Leeds have been so far below par this season, and they need to address that quick. They stumbled past Wakefield with a few of their big names back. More are returning, but they will need a big performance to beat this Hull side. Yes, FC lost to Catalans at home on Monday, but they've shown more than enough so far for me to back them here.

Round 6 Predictions...

Rob was the week-to-week winner this time around, thanks to his tip of Huddersfield to over turn Warrington. Surprise defeats for Castleford and Hull FC were not seen by either of the team but they all did correctly predict wins for Saints, Wigan and Leeds.
